It would help targeting if they were made ~4 pixels wider. (They would also look better! See screenshot & mockup.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a few tabs. 2. Make one or two into app tabs. 3. Look at the width of the app tabs. Actual Results: App tabs are 27 px wide. Expected Results: App tabs should be 31 px wide.

AppTabs will have size of New tab tab.
First and foremost, they'll have a size that satisfies a compromise between usability and compactness. This isn't necessarily the size of the new tab button, which varies depending on where the button is placed.
Every single mockup I saw had the same size for New Tab tab, Home Tab and AppTabs. Having different sizes of each tab will look hilarious at best.
I like hilarious.
Me too.
